An Exciting Chase,

The west end was convulsed with ex-
element at an early hour last evening, by
what resulted in a wild goose chase after
a couple of horse thieves. YESTERDAY
forenoon a couple OF men came on horse
back to I. Z. Talbot's backyard and uu.
saddling their horses they hid the saddles,
tied the horses in a secluded spot and
came to the city. Having a suspicion
that the horses had been stolen Mr., Tall
bot put them in his stable and when the
men returned in answer to a question BY
Mr. Talbot they boldly asserted that thew
had stolen the horses. They finally said
they had a bill oil sale for them which
they would show to Mr.. Talbot ifbe
would come to town with them. He start
ed to come with the men, but when near
the old ice house in the northwestern part
Of the city they said they would come no
further. Then L will make you come"
said Talbot, whereupon they drew revol
vers and would have shot him
had he not drawn to one side.
They then started toward town, but as
Talbot was unarmed he concluded that it
would be folly for him to attempt to ar
rest them, but kept in sight of them and
sent two young men ahead to notify the
authorities. The first officer they found
was Policeman Sullivan, who quickly
took the trail after the two men, who
were then in sight, coming down O'Neil
street The two worthless had before this
began to suspect that it would be a close
call for them, and took to their heels. In
a short time hundreds of people were
out running hither and thither. Sheriff
Sharpless and Deputies B. II. Smalley
and o. B. Sbarpless. who had by this
time been notified, mounted horses and
ioinei in the pursuit.
The two men her made their way
toward Talbot's brickyard again, evi
IDENTIFY for the purpose of securing the
horses, but on seeing Frank Shaw, who is
working for Mr.. Talbot, they headed of
the other way. Mr.. Shaw fred several
shots at them, but the distance being
great the shots were Intellectual and the
men made good their escape.
The horses are unbranded, and are still
in the possession of Mr.. Talbot, who
thinks one OF them belongs to John Hun.

A piece of downright vandalism was
committed on Saturday night. which re
suited in serious damage to Thos. f. Tai
bot. Mr.. Talbot has. a ranch of nearly
200 acres, all well fenced, just north OF
the military reservation. and within the
enclosure he has growing not only a large
supply of good grass, but an alfalfa field
and also six acres of oats. Some party
or parties, supposed by Mr.. Talbot to be
those having charge Of the town herd,
cut down and wound up the wire on a
length or two of his fence and drove into
the field a large bunch of cattle, which
resulted in the tramping down Of the
grass, alfalfa, and also of a large portion
of his oats, which were growing nicely.
Getting word of what had happened,
Talbot started for his field, but before he
could get there the parties hal did this
act of vandalism had shortly departed.
Mr.. Talbot proposes to camp on the
trail" of the pa ties who did this, aud
when it is ascertained for a certainty who
they are he will be heard from.

Cheyenne and vicinity is again badly
infested with tramps, and the fire yester-
day, as stated elsewhere, is due to them.
They have of late been swarminR up and
down the Crow creek bottom during the
day, but do not venture into the heart of
the city except at night for fear of being
run in by the police. They also wander
around the upper lakes, where they oc-
casionally get hold OF a duck which some
hunter mas killed but failed to find the
fowl after bringing down the game. The
tramps, Or somebody else equally as dis
reputable have of late been making raids
into the fair ground, and several articles
of value having been missed, it is pro,
posed now to keep a detective at that
place day and night, who will be con
stantly on the alert.

A New Enterprise.

George A. Coffman and George Rad.
cliff "a brother in law of Marshall John
SOM have engaged in a new enterprise,
and nave opened a carriage shop on the
southeast corner of Eddy and Eighteenth
streets, a splendid location, and the same
place where VI. P. Keefe has had his
carpenter shop for so long. Messrs.
Coffman and Radclif are both young
men of decided business ability and ex.
p~erience, and are both we'll versed in the
business they have engaged in.
While this is to be a genuine carriage
mandatory, at which first class work
equal to anything now being done in
Colorado or Wyoming will be turned
out, yet for a time they will make a spe.

A TERRIBLE RIDE.
A Furious Runaway and a Marvel
Gus Escape.
A Startling and Genuine Sunday
Morning Sensation.

A runaway which would undoubtedly
have been attended with serious, if not IA
tai, results, had it MOI been for the pluck
and presence of mind of the courageous
little woman who held the lines, occurred
at about 10 o'clock on Sunday morning,
hut fortunately no serious injury was sus-
tanned by any of the three occupants of
the carriage, which was so f~uriously rolled
on its way by a span of wild, struggling,
plunging horses.
Early in the morning Mrs. Colin Hun.
ter went out driving, taking with her both
her little boys, the oldest being about 6
and the other being about 3 years OF age.
While driving in the vicinity OF the ceme-
terry the horses took fright and immedi
ately dashed away at a fearful rate of
speed down the boulevard. Mrs. Hunter,
who was possessed of remarkable presence
OF mind as well as courage, cautioned her
little boys to cling TO the seat and at the
same time she chung to the lines with all
hers trength Knowing that the only hope
was to keep the horses on the boulevard,
she with a strength born of the occasion,
directed all her ~enegies TO this one end
and was successful Down the boulevard
swept the maddened horses like a tornado,
but when they reached the head of Fer.
guson street they turned into and dashed
wildly down it toward the heart of the
city. Still undismayed, for the lives of
of her W most precious gems were at
stake as well as her own, Mrs. Hunter
still chung to the lines, although at this
point it was doubtful what the outcome
would be, for Ferguson street has a
marked down grade clear to Fifteenth
street. Numerous attempts were made
by the few who saw them coming down
the street to head them off, but without
avail. Nineteenth street was reached in
an incredible short space of time, and it
was clear that a crisis was soon to come.
And it soon did come. When in front of
the McCandlish residence the Oldest of the
little boys (who probably attempted to
jump was hurled from the carriage and
struck the ground near the sidewalk where
he was caught up by Mrs. McCandlish
and Miss Bessie Mcmahon. but the
horses swept on to the corner of the Pres
b~Yterian churUh. where partly upon the
notion of the horses themselves and part
ly through the foresight of Mrs. Hunter,
who made a determined effort to rein
them in against the steps in front of thu
church and came nearly to a standstill.
Before they had time to take a fresh start
their bridles were caught by W. j. Ste
vens and Willis VanDevanter and they
were thus effectually handicapped in their
mad career.
The little boy, after being picked up
was hurriedly taken to DR.. Stevens office
close by, to which Mrs. Hunter made her
way as soon as she slighted from the car
rage. Happily no injury aside from some
slight bruises had been sustained by the
child. and neither Mrs. Hunter nor the
younger boy we're at all injured.

The Pride of the Southern Planter and the
Blue Ribbon.

The great Piedmont exposition is over and the
many thousands that were there witnessed the
grandest show ever gotten up in the south in SO
short time. In Machinery hall was seen truly the
pride of the southern planter, which have become
the leading farm implements in the cotton states,
well known in the south as the Johnson Combina-
ton PlOws manufactured by h. A. Johnson q Co.,
Atlanta, Ga. of course, these plows, as they have
always done, carried OFF the first premium, and, as
the iu iges remarked "te several blue ribbons in
different places on these plows." We know what
they will do. These plows may well be termed the
pride of the southern planter. since they reduce his
expense of buying and keeping up implements TO
less than half him labor. saves time and are
the cheapest best and most economical plows ever
used on the farm. Il is true that for the past few
years the manufactures have not been able 10 sup
ply the large demand. Put the merchants who
waits too late in sending in their orders for them
are to blame for not getting them while they can
be had in the early season. The planter who APP
preciates success and economy on the farm should
follow the example Of the shTewedest and most sue
ceSstul cotton growers and use no other but the
Johnson wings and the common scooter or bull-
bog, which makes every pow needed on the farm
Call on your merchant for these ploWs. Neqer let
him put off his old style and stock on You. til his
duty to keep up with the demands Of his customers
and you are certainly entitled % the cheapest and
best implements to ma k frmlg success.
